I am always looking for paleo recipes that challenge and replace the traditional cakes and cookies I have cooked for years. This recipe takes the cake…or cookie! Using (8) basic paleo ingredients this cookie is better than any thumbprint cookie I have ever had. Makes 18 cookies.

Who isn’t a huge fan of fried chicken and crispy starchy waffles? The crunchiness of the chicken, the softness of the waffle, the sweetness of the syrup, the spiciness of the hot sauce. But paleo? Is it possible? Obviously it is. Here is a recipe from one of my great great caveman relatives. Enjoy!

The Waffle :

The Ingredients –

– 1 1/2 cup almond flour

– 4 eggs

– 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

– 1/4 sea salt

– 2 ripe bananas

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions –

Mix flour, eggs, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl

In the same bowl mix cinnamon, vanilla extract, and bananas (Mash em)

Spread Coconut oil on the waffle iron. Add a blob of batter in the center and close for approx 2-3 minutes.

The Chicken

Ingredients –

– 2 chicken breasts cut lengthwise

– 5 slices of bacon

– 1 cup almond flour

– 1 teaspoon pepper

Directions –

1. Add bacon to a skillet and cook

2. In a bowl mix almond flour and pepper

3. Take out bacon, coat chicken in flour bowl. Add to the skillet with the bacon fat.

4. Cook for 5 min per side (or until we have no pink in the middle), take out and let sit for 5 min.

Whisk the eggs then add all the ingredients together in a bowl. There is no need to separate the wet and dry ingredients for this recipe. Fill 12 muffin cups and bake 18-20 minutes. These muffins are very moist but extra yummy with raw honey or homemade preserves. Put them in your kids lunches or your purse for a mid-morning snack.
